Show The offer of the free course of training train-ing for the position of forest ranger as held out by the agricultural college at Logan should appeal to young men in these parts where nearly every one of them has the greater part of the qualifications qualifi-cations needed for the work. We should like to see Emery county well represented represent-ed at the school. The Denver & Rio Grande sends out such a nice Christmas card to its patrons and friends that one is inclined to think that Passenger Aent Wadleigh really means what he says. Well, since we are dependent in this part on the D. & R. G. for about all the communication we have with the outside world we are glad to know they appreciate us and business they get from us year after year. The first of the week there will be a change of all county officers except three. The only ones to hoi I over to be Sam'l Singleton, county commissioner, commission-er, Assessor Killpack and Surveyor Wood. The new officers are all well known and known . to be competent and trustworthy so there will be no hitches, the county business will go on without hesitation. The old officials are all going out with gjod records and with the affairs of their offices in good shape. In fact Emery county has been well governed and the new officers will see that the affairs are kept abreast or the times and in the interests of the people. Through tge courtesy of the Green River Dispatch we are able to present half-tones of the board Of county commissioners com-missioners of Emery county and of Mark Tuttle and Senator Brinkereoff. The present board will be known as the bard that built the bridges for many yjars to corns and from the present appearance ap-pearance of the bridges it looks as though that was going to be a name to be proud of. Be tha-. as it may the board has labored well and faithfully for the -ounty an j no hi it of graft or boodling has ever been thought of in connection with their acts. Two of them, C. A. Larsen and J. B. Meeks, end their terms of o Hce next week, their terms expiring and they not having aspire . ,. r re-e tion. They have d ne good work so lo . the office with a clean recoru and thj good-will of the people. To young men: What of the future? i Are you preparing for the Lest that the county has to offer or for a larger place I when you shall have reached the years of maturity? If you have never serious-j serious-j ly considered the future take a half i hour and think it over. Just glance ; oyer the past two year j and think how many men from Emery county have gone to Salt Lake or elsewhere to better bet-ter places than the coun:.- affords and that their places were left for some one J else. It has only been a couple of years 1 since the school days of many who now j hold responsible positions as teachers I and in business positions the same is j true. There are good places here for I the boy who can not only control his passions, desires and habits but have plenty of time left after doing so to attend at-tend to business affairs and be on the job every day. If you will just take it for granted for once that your father is as wise a man as his neighbors know him to be and talk the matter over with him. He will tell you that the people are mostly fiivolous now-a-days and that it is harder now to get really good capable men than it ever has been, that every big concern in the country is on the lookout for good men to look after its affairs, that the old saving about the i room at the top is not a myth to lead ! young men to pass up pleasures and then disappoint them but a saying as true as that the big rewards now-a-days are being captured by country boys, j There is plenty of room at the top and it is looking for men. It is not hard to acquire great things, all it takes is a ; purpose and a little stick-to-it-iveness. Well, now if we have started some boy to thinking we have accomplished something some-thing by this if we have been instrumental instru-mental in getting a boy to take up a purpose we have done a wonderful thing.. A purpose will carry a boy safely safe-ly past the foolish pleasures that lead to nothing and take him to a place where he will wonder some day bow jt has ! been granted him to accomplish so ! much. If you' have a desire, make a purpose of itk'nd you will make a. man of yourself., ' ' . ' . ' |
